RV Winner "Just Lucky"

New RV owner Carl Eddy will probably never forget the number 1,278. That's the number that helped him win a new travel trailer.

Eddy was just one of 30,000 people who stopped by a TV station promotion booth at the Tulsa State Fair in Oklahoma earlier this month. The station had a huge, clear cylinder loaded with footballs. Just guess the number of footballs, win the trailer. Carl's entry: 1,278. But that's not where the number ended: Seven other people put down the same answer. To establish the winner, the station held a drawing and Carl's name came up.

Eddy says he kept being asked how he came up with the winning number. "I'd like to think I was smart," he confesses, "It turns out I was just lucky." Carl's wife already has plans for the new RV and the month of vacation they have coming: A trip to Oklahoma City for its Centennial celebration.
